Departing on Friday afternoon, due to the time difference, Simon arrived in Hangzhou at around 10 o'clock on Saturday night in China.
Even late at night, it was still a big fight to pick up the airport.
Lin Su specifically called Simon in advance to explain the matter. Naturally, it was because of Lin's father. She was a little helpless. Simon expressed his understanding. Elders care about face, so they will definitely give if they can.
The people who came to greet him diligently were also sensible. They just exchanged pleasantries at the airport and then left. In the end, only Lin Lan and his wife accompanied Simon to the mansion on the west bank of the West Lake.
Father Lin didn't go to the airport, he just waited at the mansion. When Simon got off the car, he immediately came up to him and greeted him, which made his daughter Lin Lan want to cover her face when she saw this. She knew very well that if her father didn't want a little If you show off your father-in-law's attitude, they will definitely run to the airport to pick him up together.
Simon patiently chatted with Lin's father, Lin Lan and others about the current situation and various details of tomorrow's full moon wine. After half an hour, it was not until Lin's mother came over with a hint of complaint that Simon was able to get away and go. Back house.
Lin Su hasn't rested yet.
When Simon came in, the woman was sitting on the big bed discussing something with Chen Qing next to her. There was also a little one wrapped in swaddling clothes and already asleep beside her.
Seeing Simon, Chen Qing, who was sitting on the chair beside the bed, stood up and greeted: "Boss."
Lin Su also looked over with a smile.
After all, they were all members of the Lin family here, and Simon didn't show too closeness to Chen Qing. He just nodded to her, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, leaning over Lin Su to look at his precious son inside, and asked: "What are you talking about? "
Lin Su carefully held up her son to make it easier for the man to look at her. Chen Qing sat down again and handed a thick folder in his hand forward: "About the full moon gifts I received these days, boss, please take a look. Our little puppy Dan Dan is only one month old and has already made millions, which is even better than you."
After Chen Qing finished speaking, before Simon said anything, Lin Su had already glared at him: "If you call me that again, I'll be in trouble with you."
It seemed that if Lin Su hadn't been holding her son in her arms, she would have almost raised her hand to hit him.
Chen Qing surrendered with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's Qianshu, our little Qianshu." Then she looked at Simon and said in a resentful tone: "Boss, many people have praised this name recently, saying it is simple and transparent. With Daya, if my children don’t have such a good name in the future, I won’t want it.”
This time it was Lin Su's turn to fight back: "Haven't you already made your choice? You always say that since you like it, in the future the boy will be called Goudan and the girl will be called Shuanzhu."
Chen Qing didn't look like a general at all: "As long as the boss agrees, I won't object to any name."
Lin Su: "..."
Simon smiled as he listened to the two women bickering while opening the gift list handed over by Chen Qing.
Ever since the news spread that a certain little guy will be celebrating his full moon in China, many people here have begun to pay attention to it. Even though many people knew that they would not be invited or had no time to attend, they still sent gifts in advance. In the end, Lin Sudu was a little worried, fearing that his father wouldn't be able to handle it, or that he might be dealing with someone he shouldn't be dealing with. After discussing it with Simon, he specifically handed over this matter to Chen Qing.
Although the two women were not so harmonious on weekdays, Chen Qing was definitely the most at ease with this matter.
Because this is not just a full moon ceremony for a little guy, but on a deeper level, it is actually a large-scale human exchange between the Westeros family in China. When it comes to the interests of the Westeros system, Chen Qing will definitely not play tricks just to trouble Lin Su, and will definitely do her best.
A list clearly sorted from high to low.
Simon was a little surprised when he saw the first two gifts. The gifts themselves were not of high value. They were just a silver longevity lock and a set of the Thirteen Classical Chinese Classics.
The key is the gift giver.
Chen Qing, who had finished arguing with Lin Su, stepped forward and began to analyze the gift list with Simon.
Skip the beginning and focus on some of the names that follow.
How and how those people got online, which people are in what position at this time and what their potential will be in the future, which people are suitable to be friends with in the future, and which people try to keep a distance, blah blah blah. After finishing the list of the first few pages, I jumped directly to the end, which was mainly about the records of those who had rejected gifts in these days, and another burst of skillful analysis.
It wasn't until she felt a little thirsty that Chen Qing took a drink of water from Lin Su's cup on the bedside. Just as she was about to continue, she noticed something strange in her boss's expression. She was the best at observing words and expressions, so she asked cautiously: "Boss, what's the problem?"
Simon did not answer directly, but said: "If you pay attention to Chinese history, you will find that even until now, there are many thousand-year-old families in China with obvious inheritance. Do you know why?"
Chen Qing blinked. She was actually very smart. When Simon said this, she probably understood something.
To exchange good books, follow the vx official account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and receive cash red envelopes!
It's just that the thinking is not clear.
Simon did not wait for Chen Qing's answer, and continued: "The changes in dynasties in ancient China were actually quite frequent, but the key to the reason why many of these families have been passed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years in the violent dynasty changes lies in two words, distance. Many. Sometimes, not only would they not tie their family to the superiors, they would even do the opposite and deliberately alienate them. However, due to the deep roots of these families, no matter who wins the world, they will take the initiative to befriend these families. "
Chen Qing understood this completely, and even Lin Su looked at Chen Qing with a hint of surprise.
This girl has been very active recently.
Simon glanced at the expressions of the two women, and then added: "Of course, there are prerequisites for keeping a distance. I remember a sentence I didn't know where I saw, the flying of a blue fly is nothing more than a few martial arts. A tail can drive a thousand miles. From another perspective, if you are too small, you can only stick to the tail. Only a thousand-mile horse can keep pace with another thousand-mile horse. Moreover, in order to avoid unnecessary collisions, It’s better to keep a distance and keep pace.”
Chen Qing has never been a person who can't listen to other people's words, but is very good at taking other people's knowledge for her own use. After hearing what her boss said, her bright eyes blinked, and then she pointed pitifully at the gift list in Simon's hand. : "But, boss, what should we do now?"
Simon saw that Chen Qing understood and believed that the girl would carry it out well in the future, so he smiled and said: "This is just a normal courtesy exchange. Even if there is a problem, it is not our problem. All we have to do is keep a distance. In addition, In fact, someone has already given us corresponding hints, right?"
Simon said, turned to the beginning of the gift list, raised his hand and drew a circle.
Chen Qing understood after thinking about it for a while. What the Westeros system has to do is actually very simple. Whoever is in a certain position should be consistent with that person, and others should not interfere with it. After all, with the current foundation of the Westeros system, everyone is a 'horse of a thousand miles'. To be on the safe side, there is no need to bet.
So she nodded again, but then Chen Qing said in a regretful tone: "But, boss, I have already done a lot of things, what should I do?"
Simon smiled and said: "Most of the things you did are not high-level, and the contact is shallow. You just need to pay attention to it in the future. In addition, we are horses that cover a thousand miles, and it is okay to have some bluebottle flies on our tails. As long as you don't think about the same hunchback." Just ride a thousand-mile horse, it will easily overwhelm you."
Chen Qing agreed and once again turned her attention back to the gift list in Simon's hand. When talking about some of the gifts, and even the gift givers behind them, this time it was determined that they were all 'blue flies' who would not be noticed too much.
However, after just chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door. Mother Lin came in. When she saw Chen Qing approaching Simon, she frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Chen, it's so late, you should go and rest."
Chen Qing was usually a night owl. When Mother Lin mentioned it, she realized that it was really late. Although she was reluctant to leave, she got up obediently, said good night to everyone and left.
Mother Lin took her grandson from her daughter and said to Simon: "I will watch over the child tonight. Simon, you should go to bed early. Don't... don't be too late. There are things to do tomorrow."
Simon thanked her, waited for Mother Lin to leave, and looked at Lin Su, who was blushing on the bed because of her mother's hint. He smiled and leaned over, kissed the woman, and said, "Your mother seems to have a problem with me?"
Lin Su put her arms around Simon's neck and let the man lay her down. Hearing this, she rolled her eyes at him: "Calculate for yourself, how many times did you visit the child during those days in the United States?"
"three times."
Lin Su gently patted Simon on the back with a condemning expression that you still have the nerve to say.
Simon kissed Lin Su's neck and said, "If you like, you can bring more children to live here in the future."
Lin Su hummed, knowing that the man was afraid that she would be left alone, and also knew that Simon really didn't have time to spend more time with her. She remembered something and said, "There is one more thing for you to decide, whether the child should be here in China." Register an account?”
Simon nodded without thinking, "Okay."
"Actually, the main issue is the name." Lin Su glanced at Simon carefully: "Which name do you think should be registered?"
"No matter which name you register, he is my son," Simon smiled: "Which one do you want to register?"
Lin Su listened to the first half of the man's sentence, relaxed and smiled: "My dad wants to register Westeros Thousand Trees, which is, translated from Chinese, a six-character name. He feels that little Simon, um, is a bit Weird, he doesn't sound like his grandson. If his surname is Lin, you know, it won't reflect your side."
Simon knew there was more to it, so he hummed in agreement.
Lin Su continued: "My mother wants to register Lin Qianshu."
Simon smiled and said: "Your mother really has a lot of opinions about me."
"Yeah, it's not because of yourself," Lin Su condemned again, and then said: "But, actually, if you really register like this, my mother will definitely have more objections."
Simon naturally understands.
If he was really called "Lin Qianshu", Mother Lin would probably feel as if his father did not recognize his son and therefore had to take his mother's surname.
Lin Su curled her lips: "So, I want to register two. In the future, the Chinese ID card will be Westeros Qianshu. For school or other purposes, I will register another Lin Qianshu, so that it will not be too conspicuous. Well, of course. It must be Simon Westeros Jr. on the American passport.”
"that's all."
Simon made the final decision, then stood up slightly and picked up Lin Su: "Let's go take a shower."
After not being intimate for a long time and becoming a mother again, Lin Su felt inexplicably shy and let Simon pick her up and walk to the bathroom, and said: "Simon, I like the name Qianshu very much."
"I know."
"Grandpa also likes it. He has been reading the book recently and said that you are very attentive."
"Um."
"Someone gave me a red coral as a full-moon gift because of my name. It's two meters high, so big, and the baby's name is inlaid on the base, Lin Qianshu. It really looks like a big tree with lush branches and leaves. The meaning of coral in China is wealth and good luck. Dad likes it very much, but he also has an opinion. He thinks it should be inlaid with the Thousand Trees of Westeros."
Entering the bathroom, Simon placed Lin Su on the edge of the large bathtub and warned with a smile: "Stop, the rest of the time belongs to me, forget your son, or I will beat him up now for daring to compete with dad for favor."
"hehe."
A certain little guy's full-moon banquet was even bigger than when Simon came during the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year. People came not only from the province, but also from the capital. In the end, the guests who gathered at the table with Simon were of such high standard that even because of their status, they were able to get up. Father Lin at the table was a little uneasy.
In addition, there is another troublesome thing. Many people come to pay tribute.
They didn't ask for a table. Most of them just gave gifts or cash and checked in before leaving in a hurry. If the person who gave the gift in advance could refuse it a few days ago, on such a festive day as today, if he refuses on the spot, neither party will look good.
It can only be accepted temporarily.
After counting all the gifts and cash, a certain little kid was directly promoted to a multi-millionaire. Even though the current Lin family is considered experienced, they still can't help but be speechless.
In the end, after totaling it, I still have to retreat.
Cash is best.
They only charge 100 yuan and return all the extra money, which is regarded as accepting this favor. Of course, 100 yuan is not a small amount of money in this era. Some less wealthy relatives of the Lin family may receive less than 100 yuan as a gift. This is another factor.
Gifts are more troublesome, so I have to worry about them a lot.
Probably based on the closeness of the relationship, the friendship is about the same, and the value of the gift is about the same, so I accept it. If there is no friendship, but a heavy gift is given, just return it. Fortunately, most gift givers can basically think of these, so only a few are returned.
The valuable red coral that Lin Su specifically mentioned was left behind.
Friendship is not there, but the meaning is too good.
Simon later relented and asked someone to give the gift to a certain owner of a private automobile company in Zhejiang Province who had worked tirelessly in recent years to wait for China to join the WTO.
After the full moon drink, Simon stayed in Hangzhou for another day and finalized two things again.
About Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport and Suzhou-Hangzhou Expressway.
The two projects that were first sent to Simon from Soros were indeed not accidental. When they came here, another person came to talk to Simon face to face on the recommendation of Father Lin, so he agreed. The two projects, half and half with Soros, actually cost less than US$300 million.
I told Lin Su privately that building bridges and paving roads was a way to bring good fortune to the little guy.
